fluidFIT Bulkhead Connectors (HMM) – Imperial Hose Pass-Through with Push-In System
Are you looking for an absolutely leak-proof, food-grade, and incredibly easy method to route imperial hoses through housing walls, panels, or manifold boards? The fluidFIT® Bulkhead Connector (Type HMM) is the professional solution for dispensing technology, water filtration systems (e.g., reverse osmosis), pneumatic systems, and laboratory applications.
Thanks to the proven push-in principle (push-fit connection), simply insert the hose until it stops – done. No tools, no tedious screwing, no frustration.

3/8" (approx. 9.5 mm) on both sides: The standard diameter for water filters, osmosis systems, and beverage lines.
1/2" (approx. 12.7 mm) on both sides: Perfect for higher flow rates and main supply lines.
Your Advantages with fluidFIT Bulkhead Connectors:
Certified Food-Grade: Unrestricted suitability for drinking water, soft drinks, beer, air, and gases.
Secure Hold thanks to Stainless Steel Teeth: The integrated clamping ring grips the hose rock-solid without damaging it.
Tool-Free Quick Assembly: Cut the hose straight, push it in until it stops – immediately absolutely leak-proof.
Reusable as often as desired: By pushing back the retaining ring, the hose can be released again in seconds.
Installation Instructions in 4 Steps
Prepare the hose: Cut the hose perfectly straight with a sharp hose cutter (do not use scissors to avoid deformation).
Mount the bulkhead fitting: Insert the connector through the housing bore and secure it hand-tight on the back with the supplied hex nut.
Insert the hose: Push the hose firmly beyond the first resistance (the seal) until it stops.
Check the fit: Briefly pull on the hose to test the locking mechanism. The system is immediately ready for use!
Tip for maximum safety: Secure the push-fit connection in vibrating systems or inaccessible installations additionally with our optionally available fluidFIT® locking clips (safety rings).
